Silence

Silence

A Poem by Farhan Shaikh

I have learnt,
to quiet my shoes,
and to mum my tongue,
my scent wafts no more
in the air.
I let the silence
speak, it has
it's own language.
for some time,
let it introduce me.

Far as I can see.
Even in the silence - us writers are whispered a million words.

true indeed
Great wisdom shared Farhan. My grandfather told me often. Nothing good to say. Say nothing. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

thank you 😇
This is deep. And a lesson I should keep in mind. Silence speaks volumes. And your few short, crisp lines brought out the message with force.

This might be your best to date. Grammatically, "waft" should be "wafts", but holy mole, man! This got me! Well done!

Sometimes action speaks louder than words and any action can cause a reaction or in this case your silence will be heard, it caught my attention. Thank you for sharing
